I fully understand this helps you in no way what so ever and that you're experiencing a completely frustrating situation. So please forgive me.

But you've been posting for the last few days and it seemed as if you had everything working a-ok. Why'd you go messing with your firmware? What wasnt working?

ahh i read somewhere that 3.2 firmware helps a bit with some games. So i downgraded. Now im trying to get back to 4.0U and it keeps reading my Wii as a different region. So it fails and semibricks my wii.

My wii is NTSC. and its reading as a different region. When it asks for me to change it. i press A to do it. and it has a error and semi bricks the Wii
